I do have some words. I just wanted to find out the medium so I new all of the info.
I am assuming the light area at the bottom left is some sort of desk or table, right? I do not think it is too big. It is actually quite interesting. You have created a nice looking texture and the lighting and color are also very good.
The issue I have is not with the composition, but with the perspective or depth of objects. It is hard for me to differentiate where the objects are in relation to others on the vertical plane. Everything seems to be painted with the same contrast and strength. I am not sure how much higher his arm is than the rest of his body and where they are in relation to the ground and other objects. His left hand seems to have the same strength of contrast and lighting as his right. His clothes also have the same detail and contrast from his shoulder to his waist. The ground is also very strong even though it is farthest from our site. The shadows would probably be a bit softer and deeper.
Sorry to ramble. You seem like you want detailed criticism and I like to talk. I think this is very well done. I can tell you paint with passion. That is why everything is so strong.
best regards,
Joe
